Crusader Thorns exploit

[Rguy]

There is currently a bug with thorns on the crusader resulting in OP builds capable of 300m crits+ - THIS WORKS ONLY ON THE HIGHER DIFFICULTIES because for some reason it scales insanely so try this on t6.

Here is the blue post that confirms it:
Thorns too OP? - Forums - Diablo III

How to:

1) Get on torment 6 on your crusader
2) get iron maiden passive
3) use iron skin - reflective skin rune
4) additional thorns damage from gear may help
5) farm elites and profit

I believe this is going to be fixed quickly - use it fast.

I have already seen a video with ghom kill like this.
I though it was nerfed.

Crusader
Blessed Shield - Shattering Throw
Should no longer cause players to deal Area Damage to themselves and allies.*
Iron Maiden
This skill no longer erroneously scales with monster difficulty and provides 6102 Thorns @ level 70.*
Please note the tooltip will not reflect this value. We plan to rework this skill in a future patch.

Hello Blizzard guy! I hate u so much

I guess you don't have elite status. Yeah, this was fixed very swiftly. It was accidentally being counted as monster damage, so it was scaling up with difficulties.
